Update: Fariyal Abdullahi is a James Beard Award Finalist
“Hav & Mar's executive chef is now a James Beard Awards semifinalist, too.
When you work as hard as Abdullahi does, the glamour and the grind are inextricably linked—she did, after all, reach another career milestone as one of 10 chefs selected to contribute a recipe to the plant-based menu at the postponed 2021 Met Gala. What makes her accomplishments at Hav & Mar—a bustling Chelsea restaurant that’s both a commercial success and a mission-driven endeavor—meaningful are the stories she gets to tell and the food she gets to cook.”
